Notes
Chocolate SunButter substitute : You can use regular sunflower butter with 1 tablespoon coconut sugar. If you aren't concerned about making this nut free, any type of nut butter will work with a little added coconut sugar or other sweetener of choice.
Oat milk substitute : Yes, any type of nut milk will work in this recipe and will still make it "skinny". Non-fat or skim milk will also work. If you aren't worried about making it "skinny", regular cow milk or even coconut milk works well.
